What the exhaust?

So, still learning as much as possible about the car from what I can tell the exhaust is not stock for a C63. The dealership had it on the lift and the tech said he's never seen this exhaust before. That being said it has AMG chrome tips unlike the typical oval quad design they are more squared off, which leads me to think its performance upgrade from AMG? I haven't found any other exhaust tips that match or anything to suggest this was an option in 2012. Also noticed some diaphragms looking part right next to the muffler?

Aftermarket valved mufflers (probably cat-back) with likely replica W212 E-class tips welded on (those are not W204 C-class tips)

Got any 'extra' looking switches in your car, or an aftermarket remote fob?

I haven't found one but I started the car the other day and i heard what sounded like a solenoid actuating and it sounded like the exhaust got quieter. Hopefully the weather is nice this weekend and I'll get a sound clip.

I agree with the others they ain't W204 C63 tips. What caught my eye is the lack of space around them. I haven't touched mine after a long run to see how hot those puppies get but is there any chance they are contacting or really close to the panel? Is there any possibility of things melting?
I have no clue so just curious.

E63 tips. They're square. Ive seen it a few times, dont think there have been issues. I personally feel our ovals look better with the shape of the cut out in the diffuser.

My stock tips had moved, they were touching the diffuser and melted it a bit.

W204- C63
I drove the car all day last weekend with no noticable warpping or burn marks on the bumper. About to make the trip to Helen, GA next week for the old people version of SOWO !


I picked up the car here in Raliegh, i was told the prevouis owner lived neaqr by so doubt it was the same one in FL. I'll check my car facts, i know she's been passed around a few times, I'm the 7th owner. Plan on keeping her for a very long time.

How can you not love a face like this?





Face in the theoretical sense of course...

I like the square tips. They themselves look good. But if they were meant to be the diffuser would be shaped differently, and that looks awkward to me.
